How to setup solr cloud with 2 shards 1 leader and 1 replica and with zookeeper on different machines?

I'm still confused on setting up a solr cloud cluster. The one in the tutorial are setup for localhost binded to different ports. But I wanna know how would it be like using different machines. What do I need? Do I need to extract the downloaded Solr to each machine? Should I setup zookeeper first and set the configuration? Should zookeeper be installed on a different machine which is not a Solr server?

Solution

  • This tutorial is a lot closer to what you need:

    If you don't want to run a separate Zookeeper, you can run the embedded Zookeeper on one of your Solr instances by passing -Dzkrun on this instance, and -DzkHost on the other instances to point to the first one.
